Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2021, imports of unsweetened mineral and aerated waters into Albania fluctuated between 6.9 million liters and 10.2 million liters, while exports grew from negligible volumes to 10.8 million liters in 2020 before a slight dip. Starting in 2022, the market entered a phase of strong expansion, with production volume rising from 317.4 million liters in 2022 to 498.4 million liters in 2024, and the total market size growing from 313.0 million liters to 480.3 million liters over the same period.

The growth in 2022 was supported by a shift in consumer preference towards sugar-free beverages as part of a broader trend for low-calorie diets. This increased demand for unsweetened aerated waters, stimulating local production. Manufacturers responded by utilizing artificial sweeteners like aspartame and sucralose to offer sweet-tasting options with fewer calories, aligning with health-conscious consumption patterns.

In 2023 and 2024, the upward trend continued, with production reaching 498.4 million liters and the market size hitting 480.3 million liters in 2024. Sustained consumer demand for healthier alternatives to sugary drinks supported market expansion, while exports also saw a substantial increase, reaching 33.2 million liters in 2024.
